Let me go ahead and tell you what you want to know now and say that this is a really good web drama and definitely worth watching. Great story, great acting, well paced, pleasantly realistic (minus the seeing the future part), fabulous music (I even bought the soundtrack, something I haven't felt compelled to do with dramas until recently), and an honest (if albeit limited) focus on the difficulties of the Kpop industry. For those curious about how Cha Eun Woo fares, I don't know if his acting is just getting better, or I've just come to understand and appreciate his acting style, but I found Eun Woo downright pleasant to watch. It probably helped that the drama addresses the criticism towards his acting by making his character a 'face' who is also criticized some for his acting, and his character even makes jokes about it, always in a lighthearted way.

My One and Only complaint.

The ending frustrates me. A lot. Everything is laid out so perfectly. Except for the romance which is left just kind of hanging. I. Do. Not. Do. That. Shit. Not that I'm against open endings. Open endings are perfectly fine if they make sense within the framework of the overall story, but it does not make sense here. People are saying that maybe there's going to be a second season, and that's why the ending is open ended. Well, I hate to burst everyone's bubble, but I Seriously doubt that's going to happen, even if it is a YouTube drama making the rules possibly different. Not saying that I wouldn't watch a season 2, because I would watch the Fool out of that. I'm just saying that's not going to happen, and it's best not to get your hopes up.

Which makes how the romance was left unfinished at the end all the more frustrating.

But barring that one aspect of the finale, this web drama is good, and I really enjoyed it.
